«La ciudad y los perros» is the novel by Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, published by Seix Barral in paperback (394 pages, in Spanish).
The action takes place at the Leoncio Prado Military College in Lima, where a group of cadets coexists with the brutality and violent norms of military life. The novel, inspired by the author's experiences, criticizes a distorted idea of virility and shows how misunderstood military education annuls the sensitivity of young people.
First novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, winner of the Biblioteca Breve Prize (1962) and the Critics' Prize for Castilian Narrative (1964). 1983 edition in the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection.
For readers of Latin American literature and Spanish classics, as well as for those starting with the work of Nobel Prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa.
Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquess of Vargas Llosa was a Peruvian novelist, journalist, essayist, and politician. Vargas Llosa was one of the most significant Latin American novelists and essayists and one of the leading writers of his generation. Some critics consider him to have had a more substantial international impact and worldwide audience than any other writer of the Latin American Boom. In 2010, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature for "his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat".
